CIMB Scrabble To School Selangor Programme (Secondary Schools)_27.03.10

After our inaugural "CIMB Scrabble to School Programme” in Selangor for Primary schools held on 6th March 2010, 25 secondary schools were invited to take part in the Scrabble Workshop today at Sek. Men. Dato' Hamzah, Pelabuhan Klang. The programme, which is sponsored by CIMB Foundation, involves inviting four students accompanied by a teacher from each school to attend a scrabble workshop followed by hands-on scrabble games. Four scrabble sets and a scrabble dictionary were given to each school to introduce Scrabble as an enjoyable tool to improve the usage of English Language in schools.

The Malaysian Scrabble Association (MSA) team again consisted of Martin Teo, Chitra, Chim Wai Main, Priya & myself. This time, Rama was unable to help as he had to report for National Service at Sungkai, Perak in the morning. Chitra, Priya and Chim looked after the registration which started started at 8.30 a.m. while Martin & myself set up the equipments and seating arrangement.

We started of the programme at 9.15 a.m. with my opening speech and followed Martin's PowerPoint presentation for the scrabble workshop. After the presentation, Martin was invited to present the scrabble sets and dictionary to the schools.

The hands-on scrabble training was conducted for one & half hours with the teachers and students participating playing scrabbles who kept the helpers quite busy.
